NANCY CLANCY SEES THE FUTURE by Jane O'Connor

Nancy is convinced she can tell the future - she knew Daddy was bringing home pizza, and she knew it was Grandma when the phone rang! She's so certain that she starts answering questions for the other kids at school. But Bree doesn't like Nancy's new "talent" and it is affecting their friendship. And some of Nancy's predictions aren't coming true. What happened to her special gift?

This reminded me of a Judy Moody book I read last year. It's a sweet story about kids who are learning the difference between predicting the future and intuition and hunches. Magical thinking is part of childhood - a fun part - and it's easy to let some good guessing convince a child that she can predict the future. Nancy learns a lesson as her predictions cause a lot of trouble for her and for her friends. Fans of this series will enjoy this new story in Fancy Nancy's foray into chapter books.

About Me

I am a mom, a writer, a consultant, a bibliophile, an organizer, an optimist, an ENFJ, a Packer fan, a teacher.
I have a passion for books - especially books for children. When I read a book I love, I just have to tell other people about it so they can enjoy it, too.
I believe I am called and equipped to inspire others to self-discovery, encourage in others self-expression, foster in others a love of stories and story-telling.

I am an Amazon Associate. Occasionally I post links to books from Amazon. If you link to Amazon from one of my blogs and buy something, I receive a small percentage of the purchase price.

Review Policy

I am honored when an author or a publisher offers me a book for review. My approach to these offers is to accept only the materials that sound like something I will like and to review the book as quickly as possible. I will accept electronic or physical books for review.

Not every book works for every reader. Because of this, I will not post a negative review. This could discourage a reader who would actually like the book I didn't care for. Unless a publisher requires a review, I will not post a review on a book I did not like.

At certain times of the year I may take a break from accepting review copies from authors or publishers unless I have a previous relationship with them. This allows for busy seasons at work and for the holidays, and also helps when I have a backlog of review books.
